Star Wars fans are buzzing with excitement over a recent photo op featuring Mark Hamill and Ewan McGregor at FAN EXPO San Francisco. The image, shared on social media by Star Wars Holocron, shows the iconic Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi actors posing together, drawing thousands of views and likes. Fans are hailing the duo as “legends,” expressing their delight at the reunion. However, some dedicated fans are using the opportunity to voice disappointment about the handling of Luke Skywalker’s character in the sequel trilogy.
The photo captures McGregor’s Obi-Wan with a beaming smile, arm around Hamill’s Luke Skywalker, creating a perfect moment for fans. Social media reactions include comments like “@JoJoFromJerz declaring it the perfect photo and @mavsfan0 praising it as “one hell of a pic.”
Despite never sharing the screen in a Star Wars film or Disney+ series, both actors are integral to their respective trilogies. McGregor’s Obi-Wan played a crucial role in Darth Vader’s transformation on Mustafar in “Revenge of the Sith” (2005), while Hamill’s Luke redeemed Vader in “Return of the Jedi” (1983). The photo serves as a powerful symbol for fans of the enduring legacy of these iconic characters in the Star Wars universe

@KyleW48’s viewpoint resonates with others who believe that Luke Skywalker’s character was underutilized in the sequel trilogy, starting with J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens. Luke has minimal screen time until the end of the film, and in Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: Episode VIII — The Last Jedi, the character meets a divisive fate.
Recently, Mark Hamill, known for his portrayal of Luke Skywalker, appeared in Netflix’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” and reiterated his retirement from the role of the Joker at FAN EXPO San Francisco. On the other hand, Ewan McGregor remains active in Hollywood and reprised his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Disney+ 2022 streaming event titled “Obi-Wan Kenobi.”
